No, I want something with more power. When I bought this one, I only had a
17" monitor. That monitor soon went out, and keeping with my tradition, I
increase the size of my monitor every time I have to buy a new one. I may,
however, replace the battery in this unit and use it for the monitor alone,
then get another UPS and use it for the other stuff.
as mentioned, the USB connection is simply there to have the UPS shut down
your machine safely... and you need to software to allow that
Yeah, I'm not really happy with the software that came with this Belkin UPS I
have now.
I have a couple APC BackUPS XS1300s for my big systems and a couple smaller UPSs
(IIRC, no apostrophe when pluralizing all-cap acronyms or abbreviations). The
XS1300 and 1500 have LCD displays that give good information, reducing the
"need" for installing any software. Win XP will detect the UPS connected via
USB, and will incorporate it into the power management scheme as you set it.
I had a Belkin 650 UPS and was not happy with the software or battery life,
either. I still use it (with a replacement battery from Radio Shack) for my
router, etc. I tried the APC software on an old Win 2000 machine, but found I
don't need it on the XP machines.
